Description
As Humanity's First Interstellar War was winding down, newer escorts and warships were entering service. These had the luxury of being designed with the lessons of earlier engagements in mind, and were closer to a true purpose-built warship. Raiders were unable to operate with the impunity of the early days, and the firepower that was brought to bear only made the combatants realize the potential damage that could be done with the tools at hand...
------------
This was envisioned almost as a propaganda poster, but also as something fun to make and render.
The ship was done in Bryce 6.1, background, compositing, and effects were all done in postwork with Photoshop CS 3.
Thanks for taking a look!

Very nice, well done...
wow, one of your best modeling efforts."Stellar" presentation.
Superb image! Terrific lighting, textures and design!
Impressive space scene!!! Like it a lot!!!
Sweet render and space scene, the modeling work is awesome. Well worth the full size view, you can really appreciate the ships design and texture. I really liked the grittieness of the ships texture. Awesome Bryce render for sure!!
Once again, your modeling work really shines. Like the massive firepower rays being deployed. Great SciFi.
Nice work. It's like a B-17 meets Silent Running. Has a nice, almost retro, look
Great...my favourite ship up close and in operation!Love the modelling and postwork..great render!
STUNNING WORK
Excellent render... a great composition my friend!
Was combat a long distance affair or did one have to get in up close for accuracy? Love the weapons spread. She looks like she is might be running, but not making it easy to follow!
excellent sci-fi scene and the bg is great.....lovely bryce!
Very cool ship with super detail on the metal skin, lasers and nebula are also super...but, please don't take this wrong as I hate to be too critical...the white stars are all the same size and brightness. There should be some variation in size, brightness and even color...then it would be most excellent...as is...very nice concept...keep on man...I love your work!
lot of action here. cool
COOL!!! David W

Awesome Sci-Fi composition! Xcellent rendering work! Bravo!!!
Superb modelling..perfectly done! :)
Very cool sci-fi piece. Wonderfuly done, excellent job on this.
Good modelling, and the result is a ship no one would want to mess with carrying all those armaments. Nice POV and Postwork. Good job!
Really great render!
Cool model - it's packing one hell of a punch! Lovely background as well :)
Great view!
Fantastic modeling and super work.
Fantastic image, looks cool!
Super graphic! Love the beams & bursts plus that very striking background.
Brilliant! A propaganda poster like this would work fantastically well. Join the Star Corps - "Fight for your family, your sweetheart, your world!" (You ever read "Bill the Galactic Hero" by Harry Harrison? Wonderful send up of Starship Troopers type machismo space opera stuff)
Cool sci-fi scene. Very good work. Well done.
Outstanding modeling, as usual.
This inspires me to work on my sci-fi renders
